this book changed me

First introduced to Mr. Farrell's books at the age of 18 I responded with righteous indignation, "just a man making excuses" for his behavior and discarded the book. Now age 35 I have read every book he has written. His writings changed my relationship with myself (as a man), every man in my life (father, brothers grandfathers, friends and strangers) and woman in my life. I consider my vocabulary inadequate to accurately articulate the quality and integrity of Mr. Ferrell's thoughts and conclusions. Although many of Warren Farrell's ideas are contrary to common thinking --- 100 percent of his conclusions are consistent with my experience as a growing man. Purchase this book for yourself and all others that you love.

The bible of male feminism

Following publication of this book, Farrell was lauded as "The Gloria Steinem of Male Liberation" by media and popculture outlets. This was no mere enthusiastic labeling because Farrell followed through and was an active participant in the revitalizing feminist movement. He was an active member of NOW and did regular media appearances with other famous male feminists of the day such as Alan Alda and Phill Donahue to encourage equality. This book is rightfully described as the male eqivalent of the "Feminine Mystique" because it both crtiiques gender roles using a mix of interviews and social statistics..and contains resources for action. Male Chauvinism also hurts men by constricting them into gender roles that are one-dimensional and narrow instead of allowing them to be multifaceted sensitive individuals. Although Farrell has since sadly abandoned his own work, this tome remains an important text for feminist theory. Even if much of the social stats are now outdated, the concept of openly encouraging male feminism enmasse remains radical and inspiring to this day.

This was not overly enthusiastic labeling because Farrell followed through on his words and was an active participant in the revitalizing feminist movement.

This book is rightfully described as the male eqivalent of the "Feminine Mystique" because it both crtiiques gender roles using a mix of interviews and social statistics..and contains resources for action. This book maintains male chauvinism and anti-feminism also hurt men by constricting them into gender roles that are one-dimensional and narrow instead of allowing them to be multifaceted sensitive individuals.
